Microsoft's Take on iTunes for Windows

Skruffy writes "The Register has an amusing article about Microsoft's reaction to the launch of Apple's iTunes software on Windows. It seems that Microsoft is very keen to warn its users of the dangers of using a service that would restrict them from accessing music from other sources... Oh the irony."

Why don't you go without your stupid Starbucks triple-mocha-frappe-latte for one damn morning and Paypal $5 to Slashdot for a subscription instead, and quit with the "I'm a GNU Linux hippy who thinks all information should be free" attitude? Then you would have the ability to see stories (including the dupes) from The Mysterious Future, and you could e-mail the editor on duty and let them know instead of coming to the comments section and whining about it. ALSO THERE'S THE WARM FUZZY FEELING.

i'm gonna hose some karma, so here goes.

1. that you choose to ignore the fact that we are WW3, against the exact same sort of fascist minds that we were in 60 years ago is not Pres. Bush's fault.
2. that Bush relied on the best intel available, and that the Brits still stand by their yellowcake story, and you call that a lie, which is the conscious act of deception, i can't help
3. that everybody, even the frogs and krauts, agreed that saddam was in material breach, had WMD's, and was a major threat, and you call Bush a liar, i can't help
4. that Bush never said saddam was an imminent threat, but said that we can't let him get that far, and you still think him a liar, i can't help.

i shall stop there. you cannot name one lie the president told. you can claim policy differences, but not lies. are there intelligence failures? absolutely. do they need to be addressed? absolutely. but the bullshit that he somehow "lied", is pure ideological religion. it is the same religious fanaticism that drives the islamicists to blow up buildings with airplanes.
